  • Patent number: 11392820
    Abstract: A transpose memory unit for a plurality of multi-bit convolutional neural network based computing-in-memory applications includes a memory cell and a transpose cell. The memory cell stores a weight. The transpose cell is connected to the memory cell and receives the weight from the memory cell. The transpose cell includes an input bit line, at least one first input word line, a first output bit line, at least one second input word line and a second output bit line. One of the at least one first input word line and the at least one second input word line transmits at least one multi-bit input value, and the transpose cell is controlled by the second word line to generate a multiply-accumulate output value on one of the first output bit line and the second output bit line according to the at least one multi-bit input value multiplied by the weight.

  • Publication number: 20220044714
    Abstract: A memory unit includes at least one memory cell and a computational cell. The at least one memory cell stores a weight. The at least one memory cell is controlled by a first word line and includes a local bit line transmitting the weight. The computational cell is connected to the at least one memory cell and receiving the weight via the local bit line. Each of an input bit line and an input bit line bar transmits a multi-bit input value. The computational cell is controlled by a second word line and an enable signal to generate a multi-bit output value on each of an output bit line and an output bit line bar according to the multi-bit input value multiplied by the weight. The computational cell is controlled by a first switching signal and a second switching signal for charge sharing.
